My little horse is just amazing!! He's going like a dream at the moment. I'm getting back in to competing finally, after having a baby last year, and hope to do our first Advanced Medium test soon. Today I tried multiple flying changes across the diagonal and got three, so maybe time for a tailcoat soon...?! Here are some vids from our recent clinic with Andreas Hausberger: Flying changes youtu.be/IYIzz9zP9s0Trot half pass youtu.be/X7kLdbH7eEQPiaffe youtu.be/VjIL1008j2MPassage youtu.be/1mFh2f2W7eUHope the links work! |

What a superstar. He's turning out to be a really special boy isn't he? Look forward to hearing how you get on when you get back out competing

he's looking fab, Zarello could manage the flying changes and the half pass, but not much more than that! To be honest Jenny when you first bought him I thought "what has she done" but how he has blossomed under your care and he is breathtaking to watch. He's a lucky, lucky horse.

Ha ha, I thought exactly the same!! I totally fell for him, paid the deposit and then thought "Oh crap, what have I done!" 4yo untrained Lipizzaner stallion... Boy, did he test me to the limits. There were plenty of times as a young horse, when had he not been mine, I would have refused to handle him on safety grounds. It's a good job I'm stubborn!! But do you know what? He has taught me so much. He has really made me up my game, on both riding and handling terms. I've been told several times, from when he was young, that he has no limits in terms of dressage potential. Andreas himself said "You will get this horse to Grand Prix, I am sure of it." His limiting factor is me. That's a really nice place to be. I'm so proud of him.

Lovely to see you both back out and doing, I was wondering how you two were the other day. I wasn't on here when you first got G but I do remember seeing videos that featured a lot more feet off the ground and gritting your teeth  He's cone a heck of a long way and is a credit to you. |
